Background There is an ongoing debate regarding the optimal criteria for return to sport after an acute hamstring injury. Less than 10% isokinetic strength deficit is generally recommended but this ...

Its plan was one of brute force: throw an eye-popping $25 million at a pair of coveted baseball reps, in hopes of enticing them to break their multiyear contracts and leave their boss, Casey Close ...

et al., 2023). The participants underwent familiarisation with the testing environment, procedures and contraction modes before formal testing. Before and after the isokinetic assessments, the ...

The latter exercises started with submaximal contraction intensity and slow speed movement ... Conclusion: These results highlight the relevance of implementing isokinetic adapted eccentric training ...

Isokinetic machines provide consistent resistance, so they ensure that both the concentric (shortening) and eccentric (lengthening) phases of muscle contraction are equally targeted. “This helps in ...

Abstract: The quantification of the progression of muscle fatigue during a sustained contraction is a valuable tool in several clinical applications, ranging from the evaluation of functional ...

Using a machine to control the speed also allows the muscles to contract at a steady rate, causing isokinetic contractions. Isokinetic exercise and isotonic exercise are two techniques that can be ...

The main goal of the present study is to verify whether the electromyographic parameters, especially the conduction velocity (CV), are sensitive to the fatigue instauration process within sets of ...

Typically, an individual will do isokinetic muscle contractions as part of an injury rehabilitation program. A doctor or physical therapist will set the machine to the correct speed, range of ...
